Don't joke about people's religions...that's offensive...
Isn't that a bit like making racist jokes?
It depends on the type of the person as well though, I guess...

No, it's not.

You don't choose what race your born into.

Supposedly, you can choose what religion to follow.

Oh yeah, but you still shouldn't insult people about their religion? Cause it's their choice, right??

It's pretty much the same thing... you should judge people according to their personality...

Unless they talk their shit out loud. Unless they try and force their beliefs on you by influencing politicians and law creators... there's a lot of other unless's in there.

If the pope says people shouldn't wear condoms, or Abortion is a sin then everyone has the right to say whatever the hell they want about superstitious assholes.

Religious people have no qualms about insulting others for their beliefs or non-beliefs IMEXP. If an insult makes you upset or insecure, maybe you should evaluate your faith.

It's my choice to wear a colored mohawk, you don't think people are going to scrutinize it?

It's my choice to pick my nose, scratch my ass, or adjust myself in public, do you think others won't snicker or insult me?

You bring up judging people according to their personality, interesting. Religious minded individuals personalities can be closely tied to their belief system, that's why people often refer to it as brainwashing.

Bottom line is, can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

It's just the environment I was brought up in
To judge people by their personality!!

Give me one good reason why religion should be a problem to others...? You can't call people an asshole just for having a certain religion??

One good reason = Religion inherently attempts to get everyone around it to believe it.

It's forced on people in every day life that don't want anything to do with it. Churches all over the place, people knocking on your fucking door to hand you some BS pamphlet, billboards all over the place about how you will burn unless you convert, laws based on religious morals that have no business forcing their views on you.

I can call someone an asshole for whatever reason I see fit. It's a free country.

Ah well I hate it when people force you to believe stuff!
It's annoying... but everyone I know respects others' religions

Do they watch tellytubbies??

Interesting you knew what they were called. It took me about 5 minutes googling favourite kids show... Purple character on kids show etc before they finally popped up on the search.

I gotta stop posting.

depends on the person. I'm fairly religious and I take all jokes for what they are - just jokes.

Same here

I have some great conversions worth my atheist friends. Most end up with someone giving up and calling the other one a cockwaffle

Bah ... Not all religious people are like that.

I have close Catholic, Lutheran, and Muslim friends who know me and my logical/natural view of the universe vs their "supernatural" mindset and they can take a joke as well as deliver some of their own punchlines. Sounds to me like your "friend" is really more or less just an acquaintance or "somebody who annoys you. "
